We are living in a remarkable time in history. Just about anyone can learn to do almost anything now from the Internet; in fact, much of this knowledge is available through our cell phones. Think of it: you have a nearly limitless library of knowledge and instruction in the pocket of your jeans. You may not know what job you will have in ten years, but if you're curious and know how to learn, you are future-proofed. We have entered a new renaissance. Tools, materials, processes, training, funding, community, communication, knowledge, and instruction most of the inputs for being creative have changed. As a result, we are beginning to see creativity explode. Again, the question becomes: have you prepared yourself to experience, enjoy, participate in, drive, support, and love it?  ~Mark R. Hatch
